Attending: Eric Iwona Ernst Mike Lisa JeffP Larry

Utilization: Cluster has been mostly full, ALICE running the most folowed by STAR.

Outages/Downtimes: Most of NERSC is down today for maintenance but PDSF is up although projectio has been set to zero. eliza17 is back now - had to borrow 20TB of storage from NGF . pdsfdtn1 is up but performance is bad - getting help from network people.

Upcoming Downtimes: None scheduled.

Procurements/New Hardware: 7 offers received and a decision will be made soon. Discussed buying storage on /project - need to factor in some cost for improving the networking between PDSF and /project.

/project network: We expect to make some improvements to the PDSF to /project connection in the near future.

Grid issues: Discussed dtn nework configuration - essentially it needs to be reworked. One of the dtn's is connected to the core router and this is undesireable.

Topics from users: JeffP want New Compute Element added to the agenda for this meeting. Iwona reports that the ext4 rollout has been completed. Iwona to be on vacation iuntil June 3.
